日月潭，是台湾最大的淡水湖，不仅名字优美如诗，景色也像画般山明水秀，是摄影同好们取景的好地方。到达日月潭，大约九点多左右，这并非摄影的最佳时刻，拍不到日出时的绮丽气势，也捕抓不到日出前那静如止水的气氛。
既然已到来，当然不能空手而回。于是就尝试用不同程度的白平衡 (White Balance) 拍摄了不少的相片。
在此四张不同白平衡程度拍摄出来的相片中，你个人较喜欢哪一张？
Sun Moon Lake is one of the most scenic places of Taiwan. It is a heaven for a photography enthusiast like me.I experimented with different White Balance setting to obtain different feel. The effect of different temperature setting towards the final image is amazingly vast, as can be seen in the images shown above.
My personal preference is a little colder temperature that gives rise to a bluish scene. However, overusing the white balance also will give rise to an artificial feel that many people dislike and try to avoid. This obviously is down to personal liking.
Do you mind to share which of the photographs above do you like the most?
我喜欢第四张。

我个人较喜欢接近自然的色彩，也不喜欢事后加工。也许觉得时不我予，没有时间精雕细琢，拍下就好。所以我喜欢第二张。
ReplyDelete我本来选后二张的. 看的看的, 就如平阳居说的, 自然就好,所以我选前二张。
ReplyDeletei love the 2nd pic ;)
ReplyDeleteoh, so this is 日月潭 have been hearing a lot about it.. i like the 1st photo the most..
ReplyDeletewonderful pics!
ReplyDeletelike the first one best :)
I usually set white balance in computer...
ReplyDeleteAll,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your personal view/preference on the images. For now, I personally like the 2nd and the 4th photograph the most. However I wish to tone down a little on the 4th photograph to make the bluish cold theme subtler and less obvious. It is highly possible that my taste may change with time as I am exposed more to photography world. Learning is a never-ending process…..
The 1st image was shot in jpeg hence the WB is determined by the auto mode (I believe it should be around 5200). The 2nd, 3rd and 4th images were shot in raw format then the WB was adjusted post shoot in the PC between 3000 Kelvin to 4500 Kelvin. It is fantastic to know that the adjustment of the WB, hence altering the tone of the image, can lead to vast variation in the final images (The original tone of the 2nd, 3rd & 4th photos actually are similar to the 1st one).
While I like to maintain the original color of a scene as much as possible, I also wish that my images could look a little more stunning with richer colors. Hopefully with more experiments I could improve on my shooting skill as well as my photo editing skill.

也许喜欢前二张的人较为务实理性，喜欢后二张的则较为唯美感性，我是贪心的，喜欢自然朴素，又期望华丽色彩，看来必须取得平衡，以免华而不实。。。:-)
The first pic is nice. Looked like a scenic place.
ReplyDelete我喜欢第一张。可能感觉比较接近，触手可及。
ReplyDelete第二也很漂亮。
第三，第四，感觉比较梦幻。梦里的色彩。
Mei Teng,
ReplyDeleteThe 1st pic was shot in jpeg, the rest were shot in raw. Now I find one disadvantage of shooting raw, it is very tempting (for me) to over adjust the wb, tone, contrast, saturation etc for raw images...:-)
imyuyu,
大家的评语，使我获益不少，谢谢。。
